Default 2018 Carado Lithium Battery Issue

Need assistance on waking up the lithium batteries in the coach. Looked on line and followed the steps to power up the lithium batteries from the manual with neg results. I suspect the batteries are depleted and plugging into shore power, starting the engine, turning on the Inverter, still nothing?

Looking for some direction

Thanks,

tried the suggested procedures and still cant get the batteries to hold a charge. I was told that hooking up a charger directly to the inverter is another option?

Has anybody had any luck in hooking up a charger to the inverter? And, what charger works best?

Try contacting KS2 Corp, the manufacture of the batteries, https://ks2corp.com/

This looks like it might be similar to this post: https://www.classbforum.com/forums/f...-v2-10442.html

He was able to get the lithium bank to reset by using a battery booster. It's worth a look to see if anything there could be useful.

jumped the AGM to the Lithium battery which caused the inverter to wake up and was able to charge the lithiums...all good

Great news, but see if there is a less drastic way to wake your lithium batteries up, like LostIinWoods suggestion.
